Hi. The only mentions of Be-Careful Wood I can find on the Enid Blyton Society website refer to a picture strip that appeared in The Evening Standard in the early 50s called Mandy, Mops and Cubby, and in a story called Mandy, Mops and Cubby and the Naughty Goblin which appears in Enid Blyton's Big Storytime Book, published by Purnell in 1956.

I have come across another possibility: Noddy and the Magic Boots. A seller called BuyByeBooks describes it as "Noddy goes for a walk in Be Careful Wood and finds more than he bargained for". Perhaps Be Careful Wood is a location in other Noddy books as well.

I can't remember that, but thank you, it has brought to mind Robert Frost's Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
